I have to answer this one myself since I just uninstalled Rewind 1.0.3 from
my computer. It's too bad, really, because I love the idea and I really want
it to work in a way that I like, but on my iMac, rev B 233 mhz, 96 Mb ram,
3,5 Gb Hard drive (partition), OS 9.0.4, it simply takes up way too much
memory (5 MB) and too much diskspace with all it's archiving (I set the size
to 5% ie. 175M, but for some reason I deleted a folder that was 375!!!).
I installed it on the 29th and removed it today (the second). Besides the
abovementioned problems, it also kept giving me that annoying IE Low on
Memory-thing and speed was decreasing rapidly (5 days!!!).
Too bad :-( I hope it improves.
